Swarm is actually OpenAI's terminology https://github.com/openai/swarm
Swarm is actually bee terminology
Swarm is actually human terminology

I believe bees call it "bzz bzzt *clockwise dance* *wiggle*"

I think we can all agree Swarm is a proprietary term coined by LargeCorpB for a project that never really got off the ground but definitely can't share the name with any other commercial venture.
The first pre-release for Docker Swarm came out a decade ago, the first release of OpenAI swarm came out only a year ago, I guess I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Looks like claude calls it just "teams" under the covers
